russia has elections. it is whether another candidate wins whether power is handed over to that candidate. iraq has not passed that milestone yet. what we had in 2011 was a relatively stable iraq, a lot of hopes. unfortunately, the situation has deteriorated politically over the last year. iraq has been less aligned with american interests and more aligned with iran the interests -- iranian interests in the syrian conflict. host: we are taking your phone calls. the lines are open. let us know if you served in iraq. we want to know that and your thoughts on what is happening the phone lines are open. i want to go back to the political situation in iraq. talk about his role today in iraq. before the segments started, he said he is not some hussein. guest: not saddam hussein in the sense that saddam hussein was a brutal dictator that killed thousands. he used weapons against the population to maintain his hold on power. maliki is nothing like that. he does appear to be an autocrat in the making. what is happe

there is -- guest: it was a definitive election. i think in some ways, it was the most important election because of the ability to define us going forward. i think we would go gone in a different direction in terms of economic issues and in terms of some of the social and foreign policies. host: what does it say about the electorate? guest: the critical thing is a shift in the demographics. i think there is a new coalition that includes minorities and women which has never been seen as being so dominant in terms of that power to elect a president. it is the case that democrats were getting more votes than republicans. host: when it comes to coalitions being formed -- in one of your opinion pieces earlier this month, he said marco rubio was the top lawmaker in 2012. guest: when you look back at this election, he will see marco rubio trying his very best to try to devise an immigration plan that the republicans could support, and the purpose of it from his perspective was to take away from the president the support he was going to ge

belarus held parliamentary elections on september 23, 2012, unsurprisingly the elections failed to meet international standards and were widely condemned as not free or fair. while some democratic opposition parties boycotted the elections, the candidates who did attempt to run were denied registration authority and given unfair access to media authorities. no opposition figures were elected to the 110-seat legislature. 74.3% turnout, though they say it was closer to 30% of eligible voters. it is in the worst financial crisis which has put the government under increasing pressure. they made some controversial economic decisions that has been met with criticism. that includes signing a presidential decree by making it illegal for those in the wood processing industry to quit their jobs and would shift their exporting business to russian ports. this will only strain the relationship between belarus and its democrat neighbors and increase russia's stronghold on belarus in markets. belarus depends on russia for nearly all its energy supplies. the united states and european union must remain
